""We sold the plane for the same price, right back to Bombardier and said 'OK, you take it back.' We gave it back to Bombardier at the exact same price, no one lost anything.""
""The jet, which was made in Canada in 2016, would have allowed for more certain, flexible, secure and confidential travel and was not going to be used for personal travel.""
""A government source told CBC News that the province has been working for several months to buy the jet. They had expected it to be in operation by the end of July.""
The Ontario government sold a Bombardier Challenger 650 private jet back to Bombardier for $28.9 million, just days after its purchase sparked public backlash. Premier Doug Ford stated that the sale was made at the same price, ensuring no financial loss. The jet, made in Canada in 2016, was intended for secure and confidential travel, not personal use. A government source indicated that the province had been planning the purchase for several months, expecting the jet to be operational by the end of July.
